SMG6 · rs6503245

What the study found

Who was studied 72,816 Chinese ancestry individuals.

The effect Each copy of the A allele shifted the measure 0.0551 lower (95% confidence interval 0.038-0.072); p = 2 × 10−10.

How common The A allele had a frequency of about 23% in the people studied.

Where it sits Chromosome 17, band 17p13.3 — in an intron of SMG6.

What each result means

A/A Two copies of the version the research linked to Platelet count during first trimester of pregnancy. That is the strongest link of the three results. A link in a study is not a diagnosis.
A/G One copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count during first trimester of pregnancy. That is a smaller link than two copies.
G/G No copy of the version the research linked to Platelet count during first trimester of pregnancy. This is the starting point the study compared everyone against.

Questions about rs6503245

What is rs6503245?

rs6503245 is a single position in the genome, in or near the SMG6 gene. Published research associates it with platelet count during first trimester of pregnancy. A single variant does not decide an outcome — it shifts a probability, and for most common variants the shift is small.

Does having rs6503245 mean I will get this?

No. Common variants like this one move a probability slightly and, on their own, rarely decide anything about one person. Nothing on this page is a diagnosis, and health decisions should be made with a clinician who can see your whole picture.

Where does the information about rs6503245 come from?

GWAS Catalog, Blood 2024, PMID:38064665. Every variant on MyGeneLog comes from public primary sources and is published with its citation and the date it was checked.
